Truly one of the best displays of the battle against depression. Your friends and family can do everything in their power to help you but at the end of the day it’s you who has to pull yourself from darkness.

I was so sure the writers were gonna kill her character off as a big "this season is dark" moment, and I'm so glad they didn't, because it sends a powerful "you can get through it" message.

Vecna being the personification of guilt, depression, and suicidal thoughts makes him such an effective villain and metaphor for the series. I really loved how they built up Max's emotional struggles to cope with Billy's death despite their complicated past, and then how it was negatively affecting her personality and relationships. The way Max is able to finally break through that to escape from Vecna when she realizes she has people who care about her and she has reasons to keep living was just really powerful. I legitimately broke into tears during this sequence because Max finally overcoming her struggles felt so real. The bonds between these characters are just so strong and it's impossible to not get invested in them. Scenes like this are why I love this show so much.

Max’s character shows a clear example of what it feels like to deal with depression every single day. In a way the depression begins to make you forget every good memory you’ve had as if you’ve never been happy. This scene shows a perfect view of one’s mind dealing with depression and finally wanting to live and fight to survive to reach one’s happiness and remember that everything isn’t as it may seem. To get out of your own mind and actually realize that life has so much to give. The best of the song does it for me everytime!

Why that girl didn’t get an award will never know, she earned it, the most intense, powerful scene of the whole series she literally ran for her life, to save herself,depression, trauma of any kind is a dark journey, it’s certainly not feeling sorry for yourself, it’s a reality of what some go through and often it consumes that person and they don’t at the time always see those people in front of them that truly care,it takes a lot of work and fight in oneself to overcome the darkest of times, if you have ever suffered depression, trauma or had someone close go through it, your know nobody can fix a person fighting with there own mind other than that person, you can hold there hand whilst they fight though.

Max’s story arc in that season is probably the most brilliant thing they’ve done on that show. They brought the experience of what it’s like to go through existential depression to life in a way that I haven’t seen in any other form of media. The producers gave everyone in the audience who has fought or is fighting that battle a really big hug. That scene meant a lot to me because it came at a time when I really needed it.

If you’re reading this, and you’re going through what Max was, keep running up that hill ❤

I really loved this season, it felt like such a smart way to tackle issues like mental health without making it feel boring or tone deaf (13 reasons why I'm looking at you). It's kind of validating to see how Vecna is shown as a real threat because it seems like people in the real world think mental health is "less important" because it's not visible or tangible like a wound. But that's what makes it dangerous, that's what makes Vecna dangerous. The lack of visible signs until it's too late is what killed these poor kids, and it's the support from others that helped Max live.

Truly an extraordinary scene not just because of how powerful it is viscerally & from a cinematic point of view, but it knocks it out of the park with its subtext and what it means metaphorically. I just fucking love Vecna as a villian because he is basically the ultimate evil; a self-righteous being who targets those who have had traumatic experiences and feels guilt -> people who don't love themselves very much or is carrying around this baggage that they themselves feel weighed down by. Vecna sees himself as a liberator of these emotions, and you can already see where the metaphors fall into.

Vecna is essentially a metaphor for suicidal thoughts, self-pity, intrusive thoughts, self-harm, etc. And the way the entire scene is constructed carries an invaluable message: when Max goes "you're not really here", Vecna goes "but I am" and his powers just gets stronger, because just like trauma, depression, and suicidal thoughts, Vecna is very real and trying to deny or suppress them simply makes them stronger.

So despite the music, Max is literally about to be killed by Vecna, but then she does something totally different this time. She remembers all the good in her life, the small moments that brought her laughter and joy despite Vecna about to kill her. She makes a CHOICE to look to the good instead of focusing on denying the bad, and then she rips one of Vecna's jugulars, acknowledging his existence but also moving on from him, then she runs towards her friends who want her back.

That right there is literally therapy 101 with anyone dealing with these issues, and the chances are if you are human, you probably went through something like it atleast once. A truly masterful scene

Where most of season four, she struggled with depression, now she makes the conscious decision to live and stay with the people who love her.

This is so true. I have a song that got me through some of the darkest times in my life. Rock n’ Roll Suicide by Bowie gave me hope in a shitty time.

The look on her face when she is running for her life is amazing acting, especially for someone so young. I’ve seen it, that’s what it looks like. A sliver of hope in front of you, endless despair behind you. A book could be written about the amount of emotion behind that mentality.

TW** Attempted murder.
On September 8th, 2020 my ex of 11 years was arrested for second degree attempted murder against me. He was beating me in a car on an extremely desolate road as it began snowing. At one point I was moved from the front seat to the back in an effort to escape his blows. On the floor of the back seat was a high heel shoe that I used to hit him in the head (as he was in the driver seat). Hitting him caused to open the door and try to retreat outside. In that moment I reached between the two front seats in an effort to close the car door but he grabbed me by my arm so fast he pulled me out of the car entirely. He was trying to drag me to the trunk by my hair when I saw two cars pull up/stop in the near distance and the running I did to one of those cars was exactly like this 😔 time felt so slow. I felt him right behind me and was the most scared I’ve ever been. I made it to the car who let me in, called 911 and drove off to a safe area. An ambulance came to get me and I was safe. But this scene made me physically shake due to how well it was made. Utterly moving.

Wanting to just stop or collapse and say frick it, goodbye.

Max's story arc is honestly one of the best depictions of struggling with depression I've seen. The idea of giving into the dark thoughts, of surrendering to the darkness, and then remembering all the people who care for you and who you care for, it can inspire you to fight against the darkness and remind you you have something to live for.

@LovinWhatIHear

The biggest take away is that if you are battling depression and hopelessness, no matter who tries to help you will ultimately have to fight to save yourself. If you're struggling, don't give up. Max friends had her back but Max still had to will herself through that portal.

The thing is that sometimes some people just don't have the ability to fight for themselves. You could say that the people who can't come out of depression are just accepting reality. Most of the time it isn't the true reality but it's the only reality that they know and they need people to show them the truth or else they will never recover.

I'm not saying that you're wrong but what I'm saying is that there are many types of depression and people trying to save themselves doesn't always work out. Max had to fight something physical that was actively trying to kill her and was only truly accepting death until she realised that she could fight back while others have to attempt to fight mentally and in the end, fighting with yourself mentally can lead to serious consequences and is only just making the process slower if no one is there to support you and get the negative thoughts out of your head. The difference between fighting something physically and mentally is that when you're fighting something physically, you can easily fight and disagree with it since it's natural to fight against danger and there are many ways to do so, making it very quick to deal with but when you're fighting something mentally, you tend to always be losing since you don't have any physical proof to back up your thoughts so you start to contradict yourself and resist less, but it's practically impossible to predict how long a mental fight will go on for.

So basically, while it's good to fight to fight to save yourself, you will always need someone to help you if you want to have a higher chance of recovering from depression
